Snorting Wellbutrin, Seroqual, Paxil???

I was surprised to read in a correctional nursing thread that people are snorting seroquel, wellbutrin and paxil. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this happening. What are the benefits for the abuser? Negatives? I cannot fathom any and am wondering what is up with this stuff. Thanks.

how do they get it in order to do this?

We see Ritalin snorters among teens in our area - they say they get a rush from it.

I know one guy who says it waaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than Cocaine :uhoh3: :uhoh3:

(No, he is not in Nursing school. He IS in school though :uhoh21: )

Can't see a benefit to that at all....Druggies in jail will stick anything up their nose!

People also snort Zoloft, Klonopin, and Oxycontin. Nothing new - In the 60s they use to crush-up several LSD tablets and snort that too.

There is a higher risk of Hep C transmission from snorting due to the sharing of straws, etc. Frequent users can destroy their mucous membranes, sinus passages, and nose cartilage.
